It's always difficult playing
a superhero, but when your cousin is the biggest of them all, then you have
double the pressure.
This past Saturday while
attending the Film Independent Spirit Awards, Whiplash actress Melissa Benoist
revealed her feelings about playing Supergirl in the upcoming CBS series from
producers Greg Berlanti, and Ali Adler.
"What's so wonderful
about her is that she is such a relatable character, amongst her powers," she said when Comic Book Resources asked her how
she feels about the character. "What I'm the most excited about is telling a story about a human
being really realizing their potential and their strength, and I think that's
something that everyone will root for and want in their own lives – I'm really
excited about that."
While not confirming or
denying that we will be seeing Kara donning her Supergirl costume, Benoist
confirmed that she's been looking at its different versions. "It's
a little daunting," she laughed. "It's daunting, but
that's good. I like being pushed. I work well under pressure."
Benoist also spoke about how
she feels after landing such a high
zeitgeisty role. "I think if you told my five-year-old self
that all this would be happening in this period of time, I would not have
believed you! Because it's been really wonderful. I feel so privileged to be
working and doing what I've always loved to do since I was four years old…I'm a
little overwhelmed by it, to be honest."
